An icy morning
Jyllinge & Køge, Denmark
The Hungarian gas company KEG Gaz, 80 km north of Budapest, has
a major underground gas reservoir. In June 2013 its operations were
threatened by floodwater from the River Danube. Local authorities in
Dunaalmas summoned Environment Solutions to save the gas plant.
Within six hours after their arrival a team of 3 people had fully deployed
the mobile barrier and surrounded the plant completely.
Utilising the floodwater to fill the tubes, the 400-metre barrier was
deployed from June 6 to June 12. Despite a recommended maximum
flood retention height of 80 cm, the NoFloods Barrier TwinTube 125
held back the rising floodwater, which rose to a height of 92 cm.
NoFloods Barrier saves Gas Plant from flooding
The NoFloods Mobile Barrier was called into action for the first
time in the Brittany region in France to protect 3 towns during the
January 2014 floods.
When extensive rain caused the water to rise in the Oust and Blavet
rivers, the towns of Josselin, Pontivy and Redon deployed the
NoFloods Twin Tube 125cm Barrier to protect their residents from
potential damage. Fortunately, the situation only became serious in
the rue des Moulins in Pontivy, where the NoFloods Barrier success-
fully held back the water that rose to a level that threatened people
and infrastructures.
Since 2005, the NoFloods Barrier has played a major role in the
Department of Civil Defence and Emergency Preparedness, Sécurité
Civiles’ emergency preparedness plans. It has been deployed
several times to protect both private and public assets. This was
also the case in 2013, when the barrier was deployed in Troyes and
prevented flood damage to homes on the banks of the River Seine.
Vive la France, Vive NoFloods!
Pontivy, France
In early 2014, the cities of Dax and Mont de
Marsan in the French region of Les Landes
were facing serious floodings.
The rising water from the River Bidouze flooded
about 40 roads in both cities. After a dyke
alongside the train tracks in Mont de Marsan
broke, the floodwater threatened to paralyse
the train traffic in and around the city. However,
Sécurité Civile managed to deploy 400 metres
of the NoFloods Mobile Barrier in less than
two hours, which successfully held back the
floodwater. The water that had already reached
the train tracks was simply pumped back out,
thereby allowing trains to continue running
without interruption.
The deployment of the NoFloods Barrrier in
Mont de Marsan was covered by French
national TV news, on which it was praised for
its simple and very quick deployment.
NoFloods Mobile Barrier makes
French national TV news
Mont de Marsan, France
The people of Jyllinge, on Roskilde Fjord,
suffered badly when the winter storm Bodil
raged in December 2013. Houses in the low-lying
areas were flooded, and many families had to
live with the aftermath for a long time after-
wards. However, by the time the storm Egon
announced its arrival in January 2015, the plan
was clear, and Environment Solutions’ mobile
flood barriers – WaterTubes – were essential
for its implementation.
Inhabitants of the lowest lying houses at the
southern end of Roskilde Fjord met the storm
warnings at the beginning of January 2015
with fear. Thirteen months earlier, the Jyllinge
Nordmark area had been badly hit by the storm
Bodil, which forced huge volumes of water into
the narrow fjord. By January 2015, some of the
damage had still not been repaired. The prospect
of a new flood was unbearable.
However, the storm in January 2015 had a
different and much happier outcome than was
the case in December 2013. The emergency
planning department had made a plan, and the
NoFloods Barriers played a major role. In plenty
of time before the climax of the storm, Environment
Solutions had laid out approximately 1000 metres
of NoFloods barriers, successfully protecting
the lowest lying areas against the fjord waters
and against the elevated water level in the
watercourses.
Realisation of an effective flood
management plan
Jyllinge, Denmark
To prevent potential damage to public
and private properties located very
close to the water, the Municipality
implemented a series of interventions.
These included the deployment of hun-
dreds of metres of NoFloods Barriers.
The storm was a little less powerful
than expected and the water reached
a maximum height of 1.5 metres. The
NoFloods barriers could contain water
for the necessary time in order to
prevent damage.
The people in Roskilde Municipality still
remember the dramatic consequences
of a similar storm that hit the town in
2013. Today all the citizens are deeply
thankful for the presence of the barriers,
which on this occasion prevented a
dramatic disaster.
NoFloods Barriers prevent
another disaster
Roskilde, Denmark
In the end of December 2016, the storm Urd hit
Denmark, causing an increase in water level in many
locations. One of those locations was Køge Municipality,
where the water was expected to rise up to 1.48 me-
tres above its usual level. Such a significant increase
had not been witnessed in the last 100 years.
Immediate action was required.
In Køge Municipality the NoFloods water tubes were
deployed in two strategic locations to maximise their
protective effect. While private citizens made extensive
use of sandbags to protect their basements or the
entrances of their houses, the NoFloods barriers
were clearly the perfect solution for the rapid protection
of a big area, requiring only a few men.
The barriers were deployed for two whole days and
successfully protected the local infrastructures, the
people and the environment.
Highest water increase in 100 years
Køge, Denmark
In December 2016, many kilometres
of NoFloods Barriers were deployed in
different places in Denmark to avoid
economic, physical and personal damage
from the storm. In Jyllinge approximately
three kilometres of NoFloods Barriers
were deployed.
The same area was flooded during a
heavy winter storm in 2013. However,
during the following storm in 2015, the
NoFloods Barriers were successfully
used for the first time. In December
2016, the barriers proved their
effectiveness for a second time. On
this occasion, the barriers could once
again substantially limit the conse-
quences of the storm.
A great succes -
for the second time!
Jyllinge, Denmark
In Frederikssund Municipality the water
was expected to reach a height of 1.7
metres on the night of 26 December
2016.
In preparation for the arrival of the water,
which was expected the following day,
the Emergency Office started to deploy
the water barriers in selected locations
during the afternoon of Christmas Day.
In 8 hours, volunteers in different vulnerable
locations in the Municipality deployed a
total of 1,400 metres of water tubes. The
barriers were deployed until 28 December
and their presence prevented a huge
amount of damage.
‘Christmas present’ for
Frederikssund municipality
Frederikssund, Denmark
In Dragør Municipality the floodwater was expected to rise to
1.3 metres above its usual level duringthestorm.Amongthedif-
ferent vulnerable areas and buildings, great attention was given
to Dragør Museum: a 264-year-old historical building of great
cultural value. The Museum is located very close to the water,
and the weather forecast expected such an increase in the water
level that it would have caused serious damage to the building.
Approximately 100 metres of NoFloods Barriers were deployed
to surround the museum, protecting it from the approaching
water. That night was evidence of how this intervention could
guarantee the protection of the Museum, while Environment
Solutions is immensely proud of having provided equipment for
the defence of national cultural heritage.
NoFloods Barriers save historical building
Dragør, Denmark
In December 2016 and January 2017,
when the winter storm Urd and the
subsequent flood hit Denmark,
Environment Solutions was asked
to provide assistance in the protection
of different municipalities from
upcoming flooding. 8,400 metres of
barriers were deployed in 16 different
locations and remained deployed for
several days.
During those days, the temperatures
were low and one morning well below
freezing point, causing the water in
and around the barrier to freeze. How-
ever, the efficiency of the NoFloods
barriers was in no way compromised
by the ice.
When the ice melted, the barriers
were emptied and re-collected by the
use of a hydraulic winch.

NoFloods Case Study eBook

  • 2. THE NEW GENERATION OF FLOODPROTECTION The NoFloods Barrier Solutions are based on innovative technology developed and tested in Denmark and can be used for multiple purposes. We have selected some real cases that demonstrate how, and where NoFloods Barriers have been deployed in real flooding situations. They have been successful in preventing serious damage to people, critical infrastructure and the environment.

  • 4. The Hungarian gas company KEG Gaz, 80 km north of Budapest, has a major underground gas reservoir. In June 2013 its operations were threatened by floodwater from the River Danube. Local authorities in Dunaalmas summoned Environment Solutions to save the gas plant. Within six hours after their arrival a team of 3 people had fully deployed the mobile barrier and surrounded the plant completely. Utilising the floodwater to fill the tubes, the 400-metre barrier was deployed from June 6 to June 12. Despite a recommended maximum flood retention height of 80 cm, the NoFloods Barrier TwinTube 125 held back the rising floodwater, which rose to a height of 92 cm. NoFloods Barrier saves Gas Plant from flooding
  • 5. The NoFloods Mobile Barrier was called into action for the first time in the Brittany region in France to protect 3 towns during the January 2014 floods. When extensive rain caused the water to rise in the Oust and Blavet rivers, the towns of Josselin, Pontivy and Redon deployed the NoFloods Twin Tube 125cm Barrier to protect their residents from potential damage. Fortunately, the situation only became serious in the rue des Moulins in Pontivy, where the NoFloods Barrier success- fully held back the water that rose to a level that threatened people and infrastructures. Since 2005, the NoFloods Barrier has played a major role in the Department of Civil Defence and Emergency Preparedness, Sécurité Civiles’ emergency preparedness plans. It has been deployed several times to protect both private and public assets. This was also the case in 2013, when the barrier was deployed in Troyes and prevented flood damage to homes on the banks of the River Seine. Vive la France, Vive NoFloods! Pontivy, France
  • 6. In early 2014, the cities of Dax and Mont de Marsan in the French region of Les Landes were facing serious floodings. The rising water from the River Bidouze flooded about 40 roads in both cities. After a dyke alongside the train tracks in Mont de Marsan broke, the floodwater threatened to paralyse the train traffic in and around the city. However, Sécurité Civile managed to deploy 400 metres of the NoFloods Mobile Barrier in less than two hours, which successfully held back the floodwater. The water that had already reached the train tracks was simply pumped back out, thereby allowing trains to continue running without interruption. The deployment of the NoFloods Barrrier in Mont de Marsan was covered by French national TV news, on which it was praised for its simple and very quick deployment.

  • 7. The people of Jyllinge, on Roskilde Fjord, suffered badly when the winter storm Bodil raged in December 2013. Houses in the low-lying areas were flooded, and many families had to live with the aftermath for a long time after- wards. However, by the time the storm Egon announced its arrival in January 2015, the plan was clear, and Environment Solutions’ mobile flood barriers – WaterTubes – were essential for its implementation. Inhabitants of the lowest lying houses at the southern end of Roskilde Fjord met the storm warnings at the beginning of January 2015 with fear. Thirteen months earlier, the Jyllinge Nordmark area had been badly hit by the storm Bodil, which forced huge volumes of water into the narrow fjord. By January 2015, some of the damage had still not been repaired. The prospect of a new flood was unbearable. However, the storm in January 2015 had a different and much happier outcome than was the case in December 2013. The emergency planning department had made a plan, and the NoFloods Barriers played a major role. In plenty of time before the climax of the storm, Environment Solutions had laid out approximately 1000 metres of NoFloods barriers, successfully protecting the lowest lying areas against the fjord waters and against the elevated water level in the watercourses.

  • 8. To prevent potential damage to public and private properties located very close to the water, the Municipality implemented a series of interventions. These included the deployment of hun- dreds of metres of NoFloods Barriers. The storm was a little less powerful than expected and the water reached a maximum height of 1.5 metres. The NoFloods barriers could contain water for the necessary time in order to prevent damage. The people in Roskilde Municipality still remember the dramatic consequences of a similar storm that hit the town in 2013. Today all the citizens are deeply thankful for the presence of the barriers, which on this occasion prevented a dramatic disaster. NoFloods Barriers prevent another disaster Roskilde, Denmark
  • 9. In the end of December 2016, the storm Urd hit Denmark, causing an increase in water level in many locations. One of those locations was Køge Municipality, where the water was expected to rise up to 1.48 me- tres above its usual level. Such a significant increase had not been witnessed in the last 100 years. Immediate action was required. In Køge Municipality the NoFloods water tubes were deployed in two strategic locations to maximise their protective effect. While private citizens made extensive use of sandbags to protect their basements or the entrances of their houses, the NoFloods barriers were clearly the perfect solution for the rapid protection of a big area, requiring only a few men. The barriers were deployed for two whole days and successfully protected the local infrastructures, the people and the environment. Highest water increase in 100 years Køge, Denmark
  • 10. In December 2016, many kilometres of NoFloods Barriers were deployed in different places in Denmark to avoid economic, physical and personal damage from the storm. In Jyllinge approximately three kilometres of NoFloods Barriers were deployed. The same area was flooded during a heavy winter storm in 2013. However, during the following storm in 2015, the NoFloods Barriers were successfully used for the first time. In December 2016, the barriers proved their effectiveness for a second time. On this occasion, the barriers could once again substantially limit the conse- quences of the storm. A great succes - for the second time! Jyllinge, Denmark
  • 11. In Frederikssund Municipality the water was expected to reach a height of 1.7 metres on the night of 26 December 2016. In preparation for the arrival of the water, which was expected the following day, the Emergency Office started to deploy the water barriers in selected locations during the afternoon of Christmas Day. In 8 hours, volunteers in different vulnerable locations in the Municipality deployed a total of 1,400 metres of water tubes. The barriers were deployed until 28 December and their presence prevented a huge amount of damage. ‘Christmas present’ for Frederikssund municipality Frederikssund, Denmark
  • 12. In Dragør Municipality the floodwater was expected to rise to 1.3 metres above its usual level duringthestorm.Amongthedif- ferent vulnerable areas and buildings, great attention was given to Dragør Museum: a 264-year-old historical building of great cultural value. The Museum is located very close to the water, and the weather forecast expected such an increase in the water level that it would have caused serious damage to the building. Approximately 100 metres of NoFloods Barriers were deployed to surround the museum, protecting it from the approaching water. That night was evidence of how this intervention could guarantee the protection of the Museum, while Environment Solutions is immensely proud of having provided equipment for the defence of national cultural heritage.

  • 13. In December 2016 and January 2017, when the winter storm Urd and the subsequent flood hit Denmark, Environment Solutions was asked to provide assistance in the protection of different municipalities from upcoming flooding. 8,400 metres of barriers were deployed in 16 different locations and remained deployed for several days. During those days, the temperatures were low and one morning well below freezing point, causing the water in and around the barrier to freeze. How- ever, the efficiency of the NoFloods barriers was in no way compromised by the ice. When the ice melted, the barriers were emptied and re-collected by the use of a hydraulic winch.
